Chapter 69
Zhao Yuanzhi stretched out his hand to hold his gold-rimmed glasses, his attitude was extremely arrogant, he turned a blind eye to Zhao Zhi who saluted him, and went directly into the canteen of the barracks. "Well, it tastes good" Zhao Yuanzhi picked up a steak from the plate, and after taking a bite, he was greatly admired. Looking at Zhao Yuanzhi's pretentious tone, Zhao Zhi felt a headache, this Zhao Yuanzhi didn't know which tendon was twitching, he was always against himself, and today the good man didn't come.
"Colonel Zhao, don't you know what happened to you today?" Zhao Zhi interrupted the stalemate with a smile on his face. Zhao Yuanzhi sat down at the table with a big sting, munching on a piece of steak, ignoring Zhao Zhi at all. Zhao Zhi was only slightly shocked, the smile on his face did not change at all, he just waved his hand and asked everyone to do their own things.
Zhao Yuanzhi, who was nibbling on the steak, saw that Zhao Zhi was about to go out, so he hurriedly put down the steak and called Zhao Zhi, "Zhao Zhi, why are you going?" Zhao Zhi turned around and looked at Zhao Yuanzhi, raising his eyebrows, "I'll go to the toilet, are you going?" Zhao Zhi's words made Zhao Yuanzhi lose his appetite, and he couldn't swallow the steak in his mouth.
Only Zhao Yuanzhi and the people he brought were left in the canteen, and none of Zhao Zhi and the doglegs were gone. originally thought that Zhao Zhi was just going to the toilet, but after waiting for more than an hour, he didn't see anyone coming. Zhao Yuanzhi was full, the people he brought were hungry, and the thirst couldn't be held back for a long time, so he sat in a bunch of crooked places in the canteen. Zhao Yuanzhi, who was already waiting, was twisted when he saw them like this.
Zhao Yuanzhi, who walked out of the canteen in a huff, saw at a glance that Zhao Zhi was sitting leisurely drinking tea with Uncle Guo under the parasol. The doglegs are also doing their own things in twos and threes, and they really turn a blind eye to Zhao Yuanzhi. "Zhao Zhi, this is an order from the military department, let you hand over all the American-style equipment" Zhao Yuanzhi held back his anger and handed a warrant to Zhao Zhi.
The big drama was just staged, and Zhao Zhi muttered to himself in his heart, and did not accept the warrant handed over by Zhao Yuanzhi. Uncle Guo twisted a few mustaches on his chin, glanced at the order in Zhao Yuanzhi's hand, and said softly, "We are from the Kunming Garrison Regiment, and it seems that we are not under the control of your new army" Zhao Yuanzhi only then remembered, but he recalled Zhao Zhi and them back to Lamgar, and did not transfer their military registration back to the new first army.
"This batch of firearms was provided to us by the British army, if you want, look for him" Zhao Zhi pointed to Wallace, who had just entered the courtyard. When Zhao Zhi got out of the dining hall, he asked Xiucai to go over the wall to find Wallace, they lived in the barracks provided by the British army, and if there was a problem, it was natural for the British to come forward.
"You're here" Zhao Zhi greeted Wallace warmly, and his hand was always Zhao Yuanzhi, "The colonel said that he wants us to hand over all the American firearms to them, do you British soldiers know about this?" After Xiucai finished translating Zhao Zhi's words, Wallace looked very angry, pointing at Zhao Yuanzhi and muttering accusations. Zhao Yuanzhi is also a person who has stayed abroad, and naturally he can also speak English, and he can understand Wallace's accusations.
Zhao Yuanzhi can't say it now, he grabbed this errand by himself, he patted Luo Zhuoying's chest and promised that he would definitely get Zhao Zhi and all their American-style equipment back. The firearms and equipment in the hands of the US military stationed in India are very useful, and many bigwigs have long been worried about the first batch of American-style firearms and equipment that arrived in Kunming. What I didn't expect was that this batch of American-style equipment was directly transported to India and given to the little-known Zhao Zhi. What is Zhao Zhi, just a little captain, why did he receive this batch of equipment.
As soon as Zhao Yuanzhi, who was appointed as the operational staff officer of the New First Army, heard that it was Zhao Zhi's matter, he hurriedly recommended himself, saying that he had a way to get Zhao Zhi's equipment. From the convoy blocking the door to the soldiers' provocation, it was all arranged by Zhao Yuanzhi. He just wanted Zhao Zhi to make a fuss, and then go out and convict Zhao Zhi of a crime, so that the equipment could be easily obtained.
But what he never expected was that Zhao Zhi still had a treacherous uncle here. The old cannon and the rich man were both arranged by the uncle, it is indeed a fact that the soldier disrespected the commander, and he couldn't complain that the old cannon hit him with rotten apples, and Zhao Yuanzhi couldn't grasp the handle. Let Zhao Zhi retreat as an advance and move Wallace as a rescuer, which is also the idea of Uncle Guo. Now, Wallace is here, and this matter is a matter of the British army and the New First Army, and Zhao Zhi and them have become outsiders.
"Mr. Major, I think there may be a misunderstanding here" Zhao Yuanzhi looked at Wallace sloppily, and lifted his glasses weakly, his face was extremely embarrassed. "Mr. Colonel, this batch of firearms was specially obtained by our British through the US military and specially assembled for Zhao Zhi. This is the last time I tell you, I hope there will be no misunderstanding because of this incident in the future" Wallace looked at Zhao Yuanzhi arrogantly with the style of an English gentleman. He really couldn't figure out how this officer of the new First Army became an operational staff officer, it was simply a human head and a pig's brain.
Since Zhao Zhi and his people can live in the barracks provided by the British army, and all the daily supplies are provided by the British army, then Zhao Zhi's safety is also responsible for the British army. This Zhao Yuanzhi didn't even understand the situation, so he came to find trouble, this brain is really not ordinary stupid.
Zhao Yuanzhi walked away in dismay, and went back with his hungry and thirsty soldiers, Zhao Zhike had no obligation to provide food and water to the guys who came to the door. "Zhao, the order has come down, you can take a look" After Wallace sat down, he took out an order from his leather bag and handed it to Zhao Zhi. The order was written in Chinese and English, to the effect that the Allied forces in India would provide Zhao Zhi with the latest American-style equipment, and select 150 people from the Chinese, American and British troops to be commanded by Zhao Zhi, and Zhao Zhi would be promoted to the rank of major and formed an advance battalion. Zhao Zhi served as the battalion commander, and the officers below the battalion level were appointed by Zhao Zhi himself. This advance battalion was under the direct command of the Allied Joint Command, and its mission was to receive the American and British squads.
"I pick the people myself, and I need enough food, medicine and clothing"
"There is no problem, there is no shortage of airdrops, direction guidance, air fire support, this time. Moreover, I am the liaison officer of the British army in the advance camp this time" Wallace has been haunted by Zhao Zhi and his escort in the plains last time, so he took the initiative to join the advance battalion this time and became a liaison officer on the British side. Since it is to thank Zhao Zhicai for participating in the advance camp, then he has to fight for some benefits, and the support of the plane at any time is the fruit of Wallace's labor, after all, Wallace does not want to die in the mountains and forests.
"Edward, if there was a radio station when they departed, I want to know the contents of the telegram they sent back and the corresponding map location"
"No problem, I'll call someone to deliver it right away. But you still have to go to the training camp to learn how to use walkie-talkies, this time there are 10 walkie-talkies in the American equipment for you, you have to learn how to operate"
"What's a walkie-talkie?" Zhao Zhi scratched his head suspiciously.
"It is a long-distance communication tool, and this new walkie-talkie can talk to each other at will within a range of 10 kilometers." Wallace looked at Zhao Zhi with disdain, but unexpectedly, Lao Cannon stuffed a steak in his mouth, and he almost didn't lose his breath.
